Description

Roaming guidance method, device, equipment, storage medium and system

This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application filed on March 27, 2020 with the application number 202010229128.0 and the title of the invention "roaming guidance method, device, equipment, storage medium and system", the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Applying.

Technical field

This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a roaming guidance method, device, equipment, storage medium, and system.

Background technique

Wireless local area network (WLAN) includes two architectures. One architecture includes access controller (AC) and multiple access point devices (AP). To manage and control the multiple access point devices, the access point devices are used to provide services for the terminal. Among them, one access point device corresponds to a basic service set (basic service set, BSS), and the multiple access point devices can correspond to an extended service set (extended service set, ESS), that is, the ESS can include multiple BSS. The process of the terminal switching between different BSSs in the ESS can be referred to as roaming. In order to improve the roaming experience, how to conduct roaming guidance has become an urgent problem to be solved at present.

The related art proposes a roaming guidance method, which includes: the first access point device detects the signal strength when it communicates with a target terminal, the target terminal refers to a terminal associated with the first access point device, and the first access point The device is one of the aforementioned multiple access point devices. If the signal strength is less than or equal to the strength threshold, a basic service transition management (BSS transition management, BTM) message is sent to the target terminal. The BTM message carries the identification of one or more reference access point devices, and the BTM message is used to Instruct the target terminal to roam to an access point device among one or more reference access point devices. The one or more reference access point devices refer to the neighboring access point devices of the first access point device and the target terminal An access point device with strong signal strength during communication.

However, the target terminal does not unconditionally obey the roaming guidance of the first access point device, that is, the target terminal itself stores a set of roaming rules to determine whether to accept the roaming guidance of the first access point device. Moreover, different types of terminals may comply with different roaming rules. Therefore, roaming guidance is performed according to the above method, resulting in a lower success rate of roaming guidance.

Summary of the invention

This application provides a roaming guidance method, device, equipment, storage medium and system, which can improve the success rate of roaming guidance. The technical solution is as follows:

In a first aspect, a roaming guidance method is provided, in which the first access point device determines the signal when each second access point device of one or more second access point devices communicates with the target terminal Strength to obtain one or more signal strengths, one or more second access point devices include the first access point device and/or neighbor access point devices of the first access point device, and the target terminal refers to the first access point device A terminal associated with the access point device. If it is determined based on one or more signal strengths that the target terminal satisfies the reference roaming guidance condition, the first access point device sends a roaming guidance instruction to the target terminal, and the roaming guidance instruction carries the identification of one or more reference access point devices, and roaming guidance The instruction is used to guide the target terminal to roam to one of one or more reference access point devices. The reference roaming guidance condition is determined by the access control device by performing multiple roaming guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model. , The reference model refers to the model of the target terminal.

Since the reference roaming guidance condition is determined by the access control device performing multiple roaming guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model, the reference model is the model of the target terminal. Therefore, the reference roaming guidance condition and the built-in target terminal The roaming rules are not much different. In this way, when the first access point device obtains the reference roaming guidance condition and determines that the target terminal meets the reference roaming guidance condition, even if the target terminal does not unconditionally obey the roaming guidance of the first access point device, it can still have a high probability Guide the target terminal to roam successfully.

Optionally, before determining that the target terminal satisfies the reference roaming guidance condition according to one or more signal strengths, the first access point device may determine the model identifier of the target terminal, and determine the reference roaming guidance condition according to the model identifier of the target terminal.

The first access point device may obtain the reference roaming guidance condition from the access control device according to the model identifier of the target terminal in an active manner or a passive manner. Next, we will introduce these two methods.

In the first manner, the first access point device receives and stores the first correspondence sent by the access control device, and the first correspondence is used to indicate the roaming guidance conditions corresponding to each model identifier identified by the access control device. In this way, when the first access point device determines the reference roaming guidance condition according to the model identifier, the first access point device can determine the reference roaming guidance condition from the first correspondence according to the model identifier of the target terminal.

That is, in the first manner, after determining that the access control device obtains the first correspondence relationship, it may actively send the first correspondence relationship to the first access point device. After that, when the first access point device needs to determine the reference roaming guidance condition, it can determine the reference roaming guidance condition from the first correspondence according to the model identifier of the target terminal. In this way, during the roaming guidance process, there is no need for the first access point device to interact with the access control device to obtain the reference roaming guidance conditions, but to directly follow the model identifier of the target terminal from the first correspondence stored locally Determining the reference roaming guide condition reduces the number of interactions between the first access point device and the access control device, thereby saving overhead.

In the second manner, the first access point device sends a first guidance condition acquisition request to the access control device, and the first guidance condition acquisition request carries the model identifier of the target terminal. The first access point device receives the reference roaming guidance condition sent by the access control device. The reference roaming guidance condition is determined by the access control device from the first correspondence stored in itself according to the model identifier of the target terminal. The relationship is used to indicate the roaming guidance conditions corresponding to each model identifier recognized by the access control device.

That is, in the second manner, after the access control device determines the first correspondence, it does not deliver the first correspondence to the first access point device. Instead, when the first access point device needs to determine the reference roaming guidance condition, the first access point device sends the first guidance condition acquisition request carrying the model identifier of the target terminal to the access control device, and then the access control The device determines the reference roaming guide condition from the first correspondence relationship according to the model identifier of the target terminal, and then sends it to the first access point device. In this way, after the reference roaming guidance condition is updated, it can be ensured that the first access point device can obtain the reference roaming guidance condition with higher accuracy in time.

Optionally, the process for the first access point device to determine the model identifier of the target terminal may include: the first access point device obtains the model identifier of the target terminal from the access control device.

Optionally, the manner in which the first access point device obtains the model identifier of the target terminal from the access control device may include two manners, namely the following manner (1) and manner (1).

(1) The first access point device sends a model query request to the access control device, the model query request carries the media access control (MAC) address of the target terminal, and the first access point device receives the access The model identifier of the target terminal sent by the control device.

That is, in the method (1), a second correspondence relationship is stored in the access control device in advance, and the second correspondence relationship is used to indicate the model identifier corresponding to each MAC address identified by the access control device. When the access control device receives the model query request sent by the first access point device, it can determine the model identifier of the target terminal from the second correspondence relationship according to the MAC address of the target terminal carried in the model query request, and then The model identifier of the target terminal is sent to the first access point device. In this way, there is no need for the access control device to issue the second correspondence to the first access point device in advance, and when the access control device updates the model identifier of the target terminal, it can also ensure that the first access point The equipment can obtain the more accurate model identification in time.

(2) The first access point device receives the model identifier of the target terminal sent by the access control device, and the model identifier of the target terminal is after the access control device obtains the MAC address of the target terminal from the data message sent by the target terminal , Determined by the MAC address of the target terminal.

That is, in method (2), after the access control device receives the data message sent by the target terminal, it can directly obtain the MAC address of the target terminal from the data message, and then obtain the MAC address of the target terminal from the first data message according to the MAC address of the target terminal. In the second correspondence, after the model identifier of the target terminal is determined, it is directly sent to the first access point device. In other words, the access control device can actively determine the model identifier of the target terminal and issue it to the first access point device, so that it is not necessary for the first access point device to guide the target terminal to the access control device when roaming. To request the model identifier of the target terminal, which can reduce the interaction between the first access point device and the access control device during roaming guidance of the target terminal, thereby improving the efficiency of roaming guidance.

Regarding the second corresponding relationship mentioned in the above methods (1) and (2), since the data messages sent by the terminal associated with the access point device managed by the access control device to other devices will all pass through the access control device, Therefore, the access control device can determine the MAC address of the terminal according to the data message sent by the terminal, and then determine the model identifier of the terminal, thereby creating a second correspondence relationship based on the MAC address of the terminal and the model identifier. Taking the target terminal as an example, the access control device may obtain the MAC address of the target terminal and the model description information of the target terminal from the data message sent by the target terminal. The access control device determines the model identifier of the target terminal according to the model description information of the target terminal, and stores the MAC address of the target terminal and the model identifier of the target terminal in the second correspondence.

Since different models of terminals have different model description information, the access control device can distinguish different models of terminals according to the different model description information. That is, taking the target terminal as an example, the access control device may directly use the model description information of the target terminal as the model identifier of the target terminal. Of course, the access control device can also distinguish the model type of the target terminal according to the model description information of the target terminal, and then assign a corresponding model identifier to the target terminal.

In this application, the first access point device can not only determine the reference roaming guidance condition through the model identifier of the target terminal according to the first and second methods mentioned above, but the first access point device can also use other methods. Ways to determine the reference roaming guidance conditions. For example, the first access point device may determine the reference roaming guidance condition according to the MAC address of the target terminal. That is, the first access point device sends a second guide condition acquisition request to the access control device, and the second guide condition acquisition request carries the MAC address of the target terminal. The first access point device receives the reference roaming guide condition sent by the access control device. The reference roaming guide condition is the first corresponding relationship stored by the access control device after determining the model identifier of the target terminal according to the MAC address of the target terminal. The first correspondence is used to indicate the roaming guidance conditions corresponding to each model identifier identified by the access control device.

That is, in this manner, the first access point device does not need to determine the model identifier of the target terminal, and can directly send the second guide condition acquisition request carrying the MAC address of the target terminal to the access control device. After the access control device receives the second guide condition acquisition request, it determines the model identifier of the target terminal from the second correspondence according to the MAC address of the target terminal, and then according to the model identifier of the target terminal, from the first corresponding In the relationship, determine the reference roaming guidance conditions. In other words, in the third method, the first access point device interacts with the access control device once to obtain the reference roaming guidance conditions without first interacting with the access control device to determine the reference model. Identification, and then use the model identification to perform a secondary interaction with the access control device to obtain the reference roaming guidance conditions. That is, the number of interactions with the access control device is reduced, thereby saving overhead.

Optionally, before the first access point device sends the roaming guidance instruction to the target terminal, the identification of one or more reference access point devices may also be determined. As an example, the first access point device obtains a roaming device list from the access control device, and the roaming device list includes the identifiers of one or more third access point devices, and the one or more third access point devices are The neighbor access point device of the first access point device. The first access point device determines the third access point device as one or more reference access point devices from the one or more third access point devices according to the roaming device list.

The first access point device can obtain the roaming device list from the access control device in an active or passive manner, that is, the first access point device can directly receive the roaming device list sent by the access control device; Alternatively, the first access point device may send a list acquisition request to the access control device, where the list acquisition request carries the identity of the first access point device, and the first access point device receives the roaming device list sent by the access control device.

Regarding the manner in which the first access point device passively obtains the roaming device list, because the access control device can actively send the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device to the first access point device. In this way, when the first access point device subsequently guides the target terminal in roaming, the identification of one or more reference access point devices can be directly determined from the roaming guide list without interacting with the access control device, reducing了overhead.

Regarding the manner in which the first access point device actively obtains the roaming device list, the access control device can determine the corresponding roaming device list for different access point devices, and then, the device identification of each access point device and the corresponding roaming device The list is stored in the correspondence between the device identification and the roaming device list. In this way, when the first access point device determines the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device according to the identification of the first access point device, it can compare the stored device identification with the identification of the first access point device according to the identification of the first access point device. In the correspondence between the roaming device lists, the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device is determined, and the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device is sent to the first access point device.

Of course, the access control device may also determine the identification of one or more third access point devices corresponding to different access point devices, and the access control device may associate the device identification of each access point device with the corresponding one. Or the identities of the multiple third access point devices are stored in the correspondence between the first device identity and the second device identity. That is, the identifier of each access point device is used as the first device identifier, the identifier of the third access point device corresponding to each access point device is used as the second device identifier, and the device identifier of each access point device is combined with The identities of the corresponding one or more third access point devices are stored in the correspondence between the first device identity and the second device identity. In this way, when the first access point device determines the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device according to the identity of the first access point device, the identity of the first access point device can be used as the first device identity, from In the correspondence between the first device identifier and the second device identifier, determine the corresponding one or more second device identifiers, and then use the determined one or more second device identifiers as one corresponding to the first access point device Or the identities of multiple third access point devices. Then, a roaming device list including the identities of the one or more third access point devices is generated, and the roaming device list is sent to the first access point device.

After the access control device determines the identity of one or more third access point devices corresponding to the first access point device, it does not generate a roaming device list and send it to the first access point device, but instead stores the device identity and the identity of the third access point device. The corresponding relationship between the roaming device lists, or the corresponding relationship between the first device identifier and the second device identifier is stored. When the first access point device conducts roaming guidance for a certain terminal (such as a target terminal), and the access control device receives the list acquisition request sent by the first access point device, the access control device may determine the first A roaming device list corresponding to the access point device, and the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device is sent to the first access point device, so that when the roaming guide list corresponding to the first access point device is updated It can ensure that the first access point device can obtain a list of roaming devices with higher accuracy.

Optionally, the one or more second access point devices include one or more third access point devices. In this way, the first access point device selects the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device from the one or more third access point devices. When determining a third access point device to be one or more reference access point devices among multiple third access point devices, the one or more third access point devices may be selected from the roaming device list according to the roaming device list. Select a third access point device that meets the reference roaming guide condition among the three to obtain one or more reference access point devices.

In a second aspect, a roaming guidance method is provided, in which an access control device determines a reference roaming guidance condition by performing multiple roaming guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model. The access control device sends a reference roaming guide condition to the first access point device, where the model type of the target terminal associated with the first access point device is the reference model type, and the first access point device refers to the access point device. An access point device controlled by the control device.

That is, the access control device determines different roaming guidance conditions for different types of terminals. In this way, during subsequent roaming guidance, even if the built-in roaming rules of different types of terminals are different, the target terminal meets the reference determined by the above method. After roaming guidance conditions, when roaming guidance is performed on the target terminal, the success rate of roaming guidance can be improved.

Optionally, the access control device may send the reference roaming guidance condition to the first access point device in multiple ways. Several of these methods are introduced next.

In the first manner, the access control device sends a first correspondence to the first access point device, where the first correspondence is used to indicate the roaming guidance conditions corresponding to each model identifier identified by the access control device.

In the second manner, the access control device receives the first guide condition acquisition request sent by the first access point device, and the first guide condition acquisition request carries the model identifier of the target terminal. The access control device determines the reference roaming guidance condition from the stored first correspondence according to the model identifier of the target terminal, and the first correspondence is used to indicate the roaming guidance condition corresponding to each model identifier identified by the access control device. The access control device sends the reference roaming guidance condition to the first access point device.

For the above two methods, in order to determine the reference roaming guidance condition, the first access point device needs to first determine the model identifier of the target terminal. As an example, the access control device may obtain the MAC address of the target terminal, and determine the model identifier of the target terminal from the stored second correspondence according to the MAC address of the target terminal, and the second correspondence is used to indicate access The model identifier corresponding to each MAC address recognized by the control device. After that, the access control device sends the model identifier of the target terminal to the first access point device, so that the first access point device determines the reference roaming guidance condition according to the model identifier of the target terminal.

Optionally, the manner in which the access control device obtains the MAC address of the target terminal may include: the access control device receives a model query request sent by the first access point device, where the model query request carries the MAC address of the target terminal; or, The access control device obtains the MAC address of the target terminal from the data message sent by the target terminal.

In the third manner, the access control device receives the second boot condition acquisition request sent by the first access point device, and the second boot condition acquisition request carries the MAC address of the target terminal. The access control device determines the model identifier of the target terminal from the stored second correspondence relationship based on the MAC address of the target terminal. The second correspondence is used to indicate the model identifier corresponding to each MAC address identified by the access control device . The access control device determines the reference roaming guidance condition from the stored first correspondence according to the model identifier of the target terminal, and the first correspondence is used to indicate the roaming guidance condition corresponding to each model identifier identified by the access control device . The access control device sends the reference roaming guidance condition to the first access point device.

For the third method described above, the access control device may also create a second correspondence before determining the model identifier of the target terminal from the stored second correspondence according to the MAC address of the target terminal. That is, the access control device obtains the MAC address of the target terminal and the model description information of the target terminal from the data message sent by the target terminal. The access control device determines the model identifier of the target terminal according to the model description information of the target terminal. The access control device stores the MAC address of the target terminal and the model identifier of the target terminal in the second correspondence.

Optionally, in this application, the access control device may also issue a roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device to the first access point device. That is, the access control device receives the list acquisition request sent by the first access point device, and the list acquisition request carries the identifier of the first access point device. The access control device determines the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device according to the identity of the first access point device. The roaming device list includes the identities of one or more third access point devices, and one or more third access point devices. The access point device is a neighbor access point device of the first access point device. The access control device sends a roaming device list to the first access point device.

Optionally, before determining the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device according to the identifier of the first access point device, the access control device may also determine one or more third access points corresponding to the first access point device. The ID of the in-point device. That is, the access control device obtains multiple historical roaming records and roaming experience indication information corresponding to each historical roaming record. Each historical roaming record includes the identity of the source access point device and the identity of the destination access point device. The source access point devices in the multiple historical roaming records are all the first access point devices, and the roaming experience indication information is used to instruct the terminal associated with the first access point device to roam to the destination access point corresponding to the corresponding historical roaming record Whether the signal quality behind the device has improved. The access control device determines the identity of one or more third access point devices according to multiple historical roaming records and roaming experience indication information corresponding to each historical roaming record. The access control device stores the identification of one or more third access point devices according to the identification of the first access point device.

Based on the foregoing description, the access control device may store the correspondence between the device identifier and the roaming device list, and may also store the correspondence between the first device identifier and the second device identifier. Therefore, the access control device stores the identification of the one or more third access point devices according to the identification of the first access point device. Or multiple third access point device identifiers to generate a roaming device list, that is, a roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device. After that, the access control device can combine the identifier of the first access point device with the first access point device.

That is, the one or more third access point devices determined by means of reinforcement learning are access point devices with improved signal quality after roaming from the first access point device. In addition, since multiple historical roaming records include access point devices that have been guided by roaming before, but the access point devices that have not been guided by roaming may also be access point devices with improved signal quality, so they can also be included in the The neighbor access point device of the multiple historical roaming records serves as the third access point device.

The program code may include one or more software modules, and the network device may implement the roaming guidance method provided in the embodiment of FIG. 5 below through the processor 401 and the program code 410 in the memory 403.

After explaining the terms and implementation environment involved in the embodiments of the present application, the roaming guidance method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be explained in detail below. Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a flowchart of a roaming guidance method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method includes the following steps.

Step 501: The first access point device determines the signal strength of each of the one or more second access point devices when communicating with the target terminal, and obtains one or more signal strengths, one or more The second access point device includes the first access point device and/or the neighbor access point device of the first access point device, and the target terminal refers to a terminal associated with the first access point device.

In some embodiments, the first access point device may send a strength acquisition request to the target terminal. After the target terminal receives the strength acquisition request, it can determine the signal strength of each of the one or more second access point devices when communicating with the target terminal, thereby obtaining one or more signal strengths, and then One or more signal strengths are sent to the first access point device.

It should be noted that the access point device usually broadcasts beacon frames periodically. Therefore, the target terminal can determine the signal strength of the beacon frames broadcast by the one or more second access point devices, so as to receive The signal strength of the beacon frame broadcast to the one or more second access point devices is determined to be the signal strength when the one or more second access point devices communicate with the target terminal, that is, the above one Or multiple signal strengths.

Of course, determining the signal strength through the beacon frame is just an example. Since the access point device usually has radio frequency functions, the target terminal can also determine the one or more second access point devices and the target through other radio frequency signals transmitted by one or more second access point devices. The signal strength of the terminal during communication.

In other embodiments, the first access point device may notify one or more second access point devices, and the one or more second access point devices determine the signal strength when communicating with the target terminal, and obtain One or more signal strengths, and then the corresponding second access point device sends the determined signal strength to the first access point device.

It should be noted that in order to achieve the association between the target terminal and the access point device, the target terminal usually also has radio frequency functions. Therefore, one or more second access point devices can determine the target through the radio frequency signal transmitted by the target terminal. The signal strength when the terminal communicates with itself.

Because different types of terminals correspond to different roaming guidance conditions, for example, some common roaming guidance conditions are: the signal strength of the associated access point device is lower than a certain value 1, the signal strength of the neighboring access point device is greater than a certain value 2. Or the value of the signal strength of the neighboring access point device minus the signal strength of the associated access point device is greater than a certain value of 3, and so on. When the roaming guidance conditions are different, one or more second access point devices will also be different. For example, the roaming guidance condition is: the signal strength of the associated access point device is lower than a certain value 1, and one or more second access point devices may be the first access point devices. The roaming guidance condition is: the signal strength of the neighboring access point device is greater than a certain value 2, and one or more second access point devices may be neighboring access point devices of the first access point device. The roaming guidance condition is: the signal strength of the neighboring access point device minus the signal strength of the associated access point device is greater than a certain value 3, one or more second access point devices can be the first access point device and The neighbor access point device of the first access point device.

Therefore, before the first access point device determines one or more signal strengths, it can determine whether one or more second access point devices are the first access point device or the first access point according to the reference roaming guide conditions. The neighbor access point device of the point device, or the neighbor access point device of the first access point device and the first access point device.

Of course, determining one or more second access point devices according to the reference roaming guidance condition is only an implementation method, and the first access point device can also directly connect the first access point device with the neighbors of the first access point device. The in-point device is determined to be one or more second access point devices, so that one or more signal strengths are determined, and then the corresponding signal strength is selected according to the reference roaming guide condition.

In the embodiment of the present application, the aforementioned neighboring access point device of the first access point device may be one or more third access point devices included in the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device. Among them, the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device will be described in detail later, and there will be no more explanation here.

Step 502: The first access point device determines a reference roaming guidance condition. The reference roaming guidance condition is determined by the access control device by performing multiple roaming guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model. The reference model is Refers to the model of the target terminal.

In some embodiments, the first access point device may determine the model identifier of the target terminal, and determine the reference roaming guidance condition according to the model identifier of the target terminal. The first access point device may obtain the reference roaming guidance condition from the access control device according to the model identifier of the target terminal in an active manner or a passive manner. Next, the following two methods are used to introduce a complete method for the first access point device to determine the reference roaming guide condition.

In the first way, the first access point device receives and stores the first correspondence sent by the access control device, where the first correspondence is used to indicate the roaming guidance conditions corresponding to each model identifier identified by the access control device. In this way, the first access point device can directly determine the model identifier of the target terminal, and then determine the reference roaming guidance condition from the first correspondence according to the model identifier of the target terminal.

That is, in the first manner, after determining that the access control device obtains the first correspondence relationship, it may actively send the first correspondence relationship to the first access point device. Later, when the first access point device needs to determine the reference roaming guidance condition, it may first determine the model identifier of the target terminal, and then determine the reference roaming guidance condition from the first correspondence according to the model identifier of the target terminal. In this way, during the roaming guidance process, there is no need for the first access point device to interact with the access control device to obtain the reference roaming guidance conditions, but to directly follow the model identifier of the target terminal from the first correspondence stored locally Determining the reference roaming guide condition reduces the number of interactions between the first access point device and the access control device, thereby saving overhead.

Based on the foregoing description, the first correspondence is used to indicate the roaming guidance conditions corresponding to each model identifier recognized by the access control device, that is, different model identifiers may correspond to different roaming guidance conditions. Moreover, the roaming guidance condition may include two parts, one part is the roaming guidance rule, and the other part is the guidance threshold. In addition, since one model can include multiple terminals, or multiple different terminals can belong to the same model, taking one or more terminals belonging to the reference model as an example, the access control device can determine multiple access terminals. Access point device combination, an access point device combination includes the identification of the source access point device and the identification of the destination access point device, and the source access point devices included in the multiple access point device combinations are all the first access point devices Point devices, and an access point device combination can correspond to multiple different signal strength combinations. A signal strength combination includes the signal strength of the corresponding source access point device and the signal strength of the corresponding destination access point device. Through these multiple access point device combinations and the signal strength combination corresponding to each access point device combination, use different guidance test conditions to perform multiple roaming guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model to successfully guide This type of terminal roaming is the standard, so as to determine the reference roaming guidance conditions. After that, the access control device may add the model identifier of the reference model and the corresponding roaming guidance condition to the first correspondence.

It should be noted that the roaming guidance conditions include not only roaming guidance rules, but also guidance thresholds. Therefore, the access control device performs multiple roaming guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model, not only can determine the roaming guidance rules followed by one or more terminals belonging to the reference model, but also the guidance threshold.

For example, the first access point device receiving and storing the first correspondence sent by the access control device may be as shown in Table 1 below. Assuming that the model identifier of the target terminal determined by the first access point device is 146, then the first access point device can determine the roaming in the reference roaming guidance condition from the following table 1 according to the model identifier of the target terminal The guidance rule is rule R3, and the guidance threshold is 10.

Table 1

It should be noted that the rule R1 in the foregoing Table 1 may mean that the signal strength of the associated access point device is lower than a certain value 1, and the value 1 may be the corresponding guiding threshold -75. The rule R2 in Table 1 above may mean that the signal strength of the neighboring access point device is greater than a certain value 2, and the value 2 may be the corresponding guiding threshold -60. The rule R3 in Table 1 above may mean that the value of the signal strength of the neighboring access point device minus the signal strength of the associated access point device is greater than a certain value 3, and the value 3 may be the corresponding guide threshold value 10. Of course, this is just an example. In some other embodiments, the above-mentioned rules R1, R2, and R3 may also refer to other rules.

In addition, according to the above description, roaming guidance conditions include roaming guidance rules and guidance thresholds, and the access control device can determine multiple access point device combinations and multiple signal strength combinations corresponding to each access point device combination, and then determine the One or more terminals of the reference model perform multiple roaming guidance tests to determine the reference roaming guidance conditions. Although it is the simplest and most effective way to determine the roaming guidance condition according to the signal strength, in some other embodiments, other features can also be combined to determine the roaming guidance condition. For example, the channel, frequency band (2.4G, 5G), and the load of the access point device, these characteristics will affect the size of the boot threshold.

Take the channel as an example. Different channels have different guiding thresholds. For example, on channel 36, the roaming guidance rule is rule R3, and the guidance threshold is 10; on channel 149, the roaming guidance rule is still rule R3, but the guidance threshold is changed to 8.

Taking frequency bands as an example, usually a 2.4G frequency band and a 5G frequency band exist at the same time for an access point device. In this way, roaming scenarios are divided into four situations, namely: 2.4G roaming to 5G, 5G roaming to 2.4G, 2.4G roaming to 2.4G, and 5G roaming to 5G. Because most terminals support preferential access to the 5G frequency band, these four scenarios generally have an impact on the guidance threshold. For example, for the two scenarios of 2.4G roaming to 2.4G and 5G roaming to 5G, the roaming guidance rule is rule R3, and the guidance threshold is 10; for the scenario of 2.4G roaming to 5G, the roaming guidance rule is rule R3, The guide threshold is 8; for this scenario where 5G roams to 2.4G, the roaming guide rule is rule R3, and the guide threshold is 12.

Taking load as an example, in some cases, the terminal preferentially chooses to roam to an access point device with a light load. In this case, the boot threshold may be affected.

Therefore, after the access control device determines the combination of multiple access point devices, it can not only perform roaming guidance tests according to different signal strengths, but also perform roaming guidance tests based on parameters such as channels, frequency bands, and access point device loads. That is, the access point device can perform multiple roaming guidance tests according to one or more of the characteristics of signal strength, channel, frequency band, and load of the access point device to determine the reference roaming guidance condition.

In other words, the access control device can determine multiple access point device combinations and multiple parameter combinations corresponding to each access point device combination, and each access point device combination includes the identity and purpose of the source access point device. The identifier of the access point device, and the source access point devices in the multiple access point device combinations are all the first access point devices. According to the multiple access point device combinations and the multiple parameter combinations corresponding to each access point device combination, the access control device uses different pilot test conditions to roam one or more terminals belonging to the reference model multiple times The guidance test is to determine the reference roaming guidance conditions based on the successful guidance of one or more terminals belonging to the reference model to roam.

Wherein, the multiple parameter combinations are obtained by combining different values of one or more dimensional features, and the one or more dimensional features include one or more of signal strength, channel, frequency band, and load.

In some embodiments, after the access control device performs multiple roaming guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model according to the above-mentioned method, it can select the guidance test conditions for successfully guiding this type of terminal to roam, and test the selected guidance. The conditions are processed, and the reference roaming guidance conditions are obtained. Among them, when the selected guide test conditions are all the same, the selected guide test conditions can be directly used as the reference roaming guide conditions. In the case where the selected guided test conditions are different, for example, the guided test rules are not completely the same, and/or the guided test thresholds are not completely the same, the selected guided test conditions can be processed to obtain the reference roaming guide conditions.

It should be noted that in different scenarios, different processing methods can be used to process the selected guided test conditions. For example, in some embodiments, the guided test rules and the corresponding guided test thresholds in the selected guided test conditions can be determined, the frequency of each guided test rule can be determined, and the guided test threshold corresponding to the guided test rule with the highest frequency of occurrence can be determined. The guide test rule with the most frequent occurrence is used as the roaming guide rule in the reference roaming guide condition, and the average of the guide test thresholds corresponding to the guide test rule with the most frequent occurrence is used as the guide threshold in the reference roaming guide condition.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first access point device may determine the model identifier of the target terminal in a variety of ways. However, in some embodiments, the model identifier is determined by the access control device, that is, if the first access point device wants to learn the model identifier of the target terminal, it needs to obtain it from the access control device. In other words, the first access point device can obtain the model identifier of the target terminal from the access control device. Next, in this case, two ways for the first access point device to determine the model identifier of the target terminal will be introduced.

(1) The first access point device sends a model query request to the access control device, and the model query request carries the MAC address of the target terminal. The access control device receives the model query request sent by the first access point device, and determines the model identifier of the target terminal from the stored second correspondence according to the MAC address of the target terminal. The second correspondence is used to indicate the access The model identifier corresponding to each MAC address recognized by the access control device. After that, the access control device sends the model identifier of the target terminal to the first access point device, and the first access point device receives the model identifier of the target terminal sent by the access control device.

That is, in the method (1), the second corresponding relationship is stored in the access control device in advance, and when the first access point device needs to determine the model identifier of the target terminal, the first access point device can communicate with the access point device. The access control device sends a model query request. In this way, the access control device can determine the model identifier of the target terminal from the second correspondence relationship according to the MAC address of the target terminal, and then send the model identifier of the target terminal to the first access point device. In this way, there is no need for the access control device to issue the second correspondence to the first access point device in advance, and when the access control device updates the model identifier of the target terminal, it can also ensure that the first access point The equipment can obtain the more accurate model identification in time.

Based on the foregoing description, data packets sent to other devices by terminals associated with the access point device managed by the access control device will all pass through the access control device. Therefore, the access control device can determine the terminal according to the data packet sent by the terminal. The MAC address of the terminal is further determined to determine the model identifier of the terminal, so as to create a second correspondence relationship according to the MAC address of the terminal and the model identifier. Taking the target terminal as an example, the access control device may obtain the MAC address of the target terminal and the model description information of the target terminal from the data message sent by the target terminal. The access control device determines the model identifier of the target terminal according to the model description information of the target terminal, and stores the MAC address of the target terminal and the model identifier of the target terminal in the second correspondence.

Normally, the data message sent by the target terminal will carry its own MAC address and model description information. For example, when the data message sent by the target terminal is an http message, the http message may carry the MAC address of the target terminal, and the user-agent field of the http message may carry the model description information of the target terminal. Therefore, the access control device can obtain the MAC address and model description information of the target terminal from the data message sent by the target terminal. For example, the model description information can be huawei P30, iphone 8, and so on.

In addition, because different models of terminals have different model description information, the access control device can distinguish different models of terminals according to the different model description information. That is, taking the target terminal as an example, the access control device may directly use the model description information of the target terminal as the model identifier of the target terminal. Of course, the access control device can also distinguish the model type of the target terminal according to the model description information of the target terminal, and then assign a corresponding model identifier to the target terminal.

For example, the second correspondence stored by the access control device is shown in Table 2 below, and the model identifier in Table 2 is the model identifier assigned by the access control device to the terminal according to the model description information of the terminal. After the first access point device sends the model query request to the access control device, it is assumed that the MAC address of the target terminal carried in the model query request is 00:11:22:33:44:55. At this time, the access control device determines that the model identifier of the target terminal is 146 from the second correspondence shown in Table 2 below according to the MAC address of the target terminal. After that, the access control device sends the model identifier of the target terminal to the first access point device, and the first access point device receives the model identifier of the target terminal sent by the access control device.

(2) The access control device obtains the MAC address of the target terminal from the data message sent by the target terminal, and determines the target terminal's model identifier from the stored second correspondence according to the target terminal's MAC address, and sends it to the first An access point device sends the model identifier of the target terminal. After that, the first access point device receives the model identifier of the target terminal sent by the access control device.

In the second way, the first access point device may directly determine the model identifier of the target terminal, and send a first guidance condition acquisition request to the access control device, and the first guidance condition acquisition request carries the model identifier of the target terminal. The access control device receives the first guide condition acquisition request sent by the first access point device, determines the reference roaming guide condition from the stored first correspondence according to the model identifier of the target terminal, and sends it to the first access point device Send reference roaming guidance conditions. Therefore, the first access point device can receive the reference roaming guide condition sent by the access control device.

Optionally, for the second method, after the first access point device has obtained the corresponding roaming guidance conditions from the access control device during the roaming guidance process for other terminals in the history, the first access point device may The corresponding relationship between the model identifier of the terminal and the corresponding roaming guidance condition is stored locally. In this way, after the first access point device determines the model identifier of the target terminal, the first access point device may first query whether the reference roaming guide condition is stored locally according to the model identifier of the target terminal. If the reference roaming guide condition is not stored locally in the first access point device, the first access point device can send a first guide condition acquisition request to the access control device, and the access control device can then use the target terminal's model identification After determining the reference roaming guidance condition from the first correspondence, send it to the first access point device. If the reference roaming guidance condition is stored locally in the first access point device, the first access point device does not need to interact with the access control device, thereby reducing the number of interactions and improving the efficiency of roaming guidance.

Among them, in the second manner, the method for the first access point device to determine the model identifier of the target terminal may refer to the method in the first manner described above, which is not described in detail in this embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned second method can not only be used to obtain the reference roaming guidance condition when the target terminal performs roaming guidance, but also can be used to update the reference roaming guidance condition stored locally in the first access point device. That is, after the access control device updates the first correspondence relationship with reference to the roaming guide condition, the first access point device may also obtain the updated roaming guide condition from the access control device in the second manner described above.

In the embodiments of the present application, the first access point device may not only determine the reference roaming guidance condition through the model identifier of the target terminal according to the above two methods, in other embodiments, the first access point device may also Determine the reference roaming guidance conditions by other means. For example, the first access point device may determine the reference roaming guidance condition according to the MAC address of the target terminal. That is, the first access point device may determine the MAC address of the target terminal, and then determine the reference roaming guide condition from the access control device according to the MAC address of the target terminal. Next, this will be explained in detail through the following third method.

In the third manner, the first access point device sends a second guide condition acquisition request to the access control device, and the second guide condition acquisition request carries the MAC address of the target terminal. The access control device receives the second guide condition acquisition request sent by the first access point device, and determines the model identifier of the target terminal from the stored second correspondence according to the MAC address of the target terminal, and the second correspondence is used for Indicate the model identifier corresponding to each MAC address recognized by the access control device. After that, the access control device determines the reference roaming guidance condition from the stored first correspondence relationship according to the model identifier of the target terminal, and sends the reference roaming guidance condition to the first access point device. The first access point device receives the reference roaming guide condition sent by the access control device.

That is, in the third method, the first access point device does not need to determine the model identifier of the target terminal, and may directly send the second guide condition acquisition request carrying the MAC address of the target terminal to the access control device. After the access control device receives the second guide condition acquisition request, it determines the model identifier of the target terminal from the second correspondence according to the MAC address of the target terminal, and then according to the model identifier of the target terminal, from the first corresponding In the relationship, determine the reference roaming guidance conditions. In other words, in the third method, the first access point device interacts with the access control device once to obtain the reference roaming guidance conditions without first interacting with the access control device to determine the reference model. Identification, and then use the model identification to perform a secondary interaction with the access control device to obtain the reference roaming guidance conditions. That is, the number of interactions with the access control device is reduced, thereby saving overhead.

Step 503: If it is determined based on the one or more signal strengths that the target terminal meets the reference roaming guidance condition, the first access point device sends a roaming guidance instruction to the target terminal, and the roaming guidance instruction carries the information of one or more reference access point devices. Identification, the roaming guidance instruction is used to guide the target terminal to roam to one of the one or more reference access point devices.

After determining one or more signal strengths in step 501 and determining the reference roaming guidance condition in step 502, the first access point device may determine whether the target terminal meets the reference roaming guidance condition according to the one or more signal strengths. If the target terminal meets the reference roaming guidance condition, the first access point device may send a roaming guidance instruction to the target terminal.

Since the reference roaming guidance condition is determined by the access control device through multiple roaming guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model, and the reference model is the model of the target terminal, refer to the roaming guidance condition and target The built-in roaming rules in the terminal are not much different. In this way, when the target terminal meets the reference roaming guidance condition, sending a roaming guidance instruction to the target terminal can guarantee the success of the roaming guidance of the target terminal with a high probability. In other words, referring to the roaming guidance conditions can guarantee the success of the roaming guidance of the target terminal with a high probability.

In the embodiment of the present application, before the first access point device sends the roaming guidance instruction to the target terminal, the identification of one or more reference access point devices may be determined. As an example, the first access point device may obtain a roaming device list from the access control device, where the roaming device list includes the identities of one or more third access point devices, and the one or more third access points The point device is the neighbor access point device of the first access point device. After that, the first access point device may determine as one or more third access point devices from the one or more third access point devices according to the roaming device list. A third access point device with reference to the access point device.

In some embodiments, the one or more second access point devices may include one or more third access point devices. In this way, the first access point device determines from the one or more third access point devices according to the roaming device list the implementation process of the third access point device as one or more reference access point devices. This is: according to the roaming device list, a third access point device that meets the reference roaming guide condition is selected from one or more third access point devices to obtain one or more reference access point devices.

Because the first access point device can obtain the roaming device list from the access control device in an active or passive manner, and thereby select the identity of the third access point device that meets the reference roaming guide condition from the roaming device list , And use the identification of the selected third access point device as the identification of one or more reference access point devices. Next, the complete implementation process of determining the identity of one or more reference access point devices is introduced in the following two ways.

In the first way, the first access point device receives and stores a roaming device list sent by the access control device, the roaming device list includes one or more identities of the third access point device, and the one or more third access point devices The access point device is a neighbor access point device of the first access point device. In this way, before the first access point device sends the roaming guidance instruction to the target terminal, the first access point device can select the identity of the third access point device that meets the reference roaming guidance condition from the roaming device list, and select The identifier of the third access point device serves as the identifier of one or more reference access point devices.

In some embodiments, the access control device may determine the corresponding roaming device list for different access point devices, and send the roaming device list to the corresponding access point device. Taking the first access point device as an example, after determining the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device, the access control device may send the roaming device list to the first access point device. Since the roaming device list includes the identities of all other access point devices that can roam from the first access point device, but some access point devices may not meet the reference roaming guide conditions, so the first access point device Before sending the roaming guidance instruction to the target terminal, the identity of the third access point device that meets the reference roaming guidance condition can be selected from the roaming device list as the identity of one or more reference access point devices.

For the first method described above, the access control device may actively send the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device to the first access point device. In this way, when the first access point device subsequently guides the target terminal in roaming, the identification of one or more reference access point devices can be directly determined from the roaming guide list without interacting with the access control device, reducing了overhead.

For example, the first access point device receives and stores the roaming device list sent by the access control device including an identifier of the third access point device. Before the first access point device sends the roaming guidance instruction to the target terminal, assuming that the first access point device determines that the third access point device in the roaming device list meets the reference roaming guidance condition, then the first access point The device may directly use the identifier of the third access point device in the roaming guide list as the identifier of the reference access point device.

Optionally, when the access control device delivers the roaming device list to the first access point device, it may also send the number of access point devices included in the roaming device list below.

In the second way, the first access point device sends a list acquisition request to the access control device, and the list acquisition request carries the identity of the first access point device. The access control device receives the list acquisition request sent by the first access point device, and determines a roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device according to the identifier of the first access point device, and the roaming device list includes one or more first access point devices. The identifier of the third access point device, and the one or more third access point devices are neighbor access point devices of the first access point device. After that, the access control device sends the roaming device list to the first access point device. The first access point device receives the roaming device list sent by the access control device, and selects the identity of the third access point device that meets the reference roaming guide condition from the roaming device list, and sets the identity of the selected third access point device The identifier serves as the identifier of one or more reference access point devices.

In some embodiments, the access control device may determine the corresponding roaming device list for different access point devices, and then store the device identification of each access point device and the corresponding roaming device list in the device identification and roaming device list. Correspondence between the lists. In this way, when the first access point device determines the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device according to the identification of the first access point device, it can compare the stored device identification with the identification of the first access point device according to the identification of the first access point device. In the correspondence between the roaming device lists, the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device is determined, and the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device is sent to the first access point device.

In other embodiments, the access control device may determine the identity of one or more corresponding third access point devices for different access point devices, and then, the access control device may assign the device of each access point device The identifier and the corresponding identifier of one or more third access point devices are stored in the corresponding relationship between the first device identifier and the second device identifier. That is, the identifier of each access point device is used as the first device identifier, the identifier of the third access point device corresponding to each access point device is used as the second device identifier, and the device identifier of each access point device is combined with The identities of the corresponding one or more third access point devices are stored in the correspondence between the first device identity and the second device identity. In this way, when the first access point device determines the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device according to the identity of the first access point device, the identity of the first access point device can be used as the first device identity, from In the correspondence between the first device identifier and the second device identifier, determine the corresponding one or more second device identifiers, and then use the determined one or more second device identifiers as one corresponding to the first access point device Or the identities of multiple third access point devices. Then, a roaming device list including the identities of the one or more third access point devices is generated, and the roaming device list is sent to the first access point device.

For the second method described above, after the access control device determines the identity of one or more third access point devices corresponding to the first access point device, it does not generate a roaming device list and send it to the first access point device. Instead, the corresponding relationship between the device identifier and the roaming device list is stored, or the corresponding relationship between the first device identifier and the second device identifier is stored. When the first access point device conducts roaming guidance for a certain terminal (such as a target terminal), and the access control device receives the list acquisition request sent by the first access point device, the access control device may determine the first A roaming device list corresponding to the access point device, and the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device is sent to the first access point device, so that when the roaming guide list corresponding to the first access point device is updated It can ensure that the first access point device can obtain a list of roaming devices with higher accuracy.

For example, the first access point device sends a list acquisition request to the access control device, and the list acquisition request carries the identifier of the first access point device as 48f8-db86-3460. The access control device receives the list acquisition request sent by the first access point device, and according to the identification of the first access point device, determines the corresponding roaming from the corresponding relationship between the device identification and the roaming device list shown in Table 3 below. The device list includes a third access point device, and the identifier of the third access point device is 48f8-db79-2420. After that, the access control device sends the roaming device list to the first access point device. The first access point device receives the roaming device list sent by the access control device. Assuming that the third access point device in the roaming device list meets the reference roaming guide condition, the first access point device can directly roam the device. The identifier of this third access point device in the boot list is used as the identifier of the reference access point device.

In the above-mentioned second manner, before determining the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device according to the identifier of the first access point device, the access control device may also determine one or more corresponding roaming devices of the first access point device. The identity of the third access point device. That is: the access control device obtains multiple historical roaming records and the roaming experience indication information corresponding to each historical roaming record. Each historical roaming record includes the identity of the source access point device and the identity of the destination access point device. The source access point devices in the historical roaming records are all the first access point devices, and the roaming experience indication information is used to instruct the terminal associated with the first access point device to roam to the destination access point device corresponding to the corresponding historical roaming record Whether the signal quality afterwards is improved. The access control device determines the identity of one or more third access point devices corresponding to the first access point device according to the multiple historical roaming records and the roaming experience indication information corresponding to each historical roaming record. The access control device stores the identification of the one or more third access point devices according to the identification of the first access point device.

It should be noted that in this embodiment of the application, the first access point device can report to the access control device its signal strength when communicating with the target terminal, and can also report to the access control device that it sends to the target terminal. Information such as the identification of one or more reference access point devices and the number of guides carried in the roaming guidance instruction. In the same way, other access point devices can also report the above information to the access control device. For example, suppose that the target terminal roams to a reference access point device among the one or more reference access point devices, and this reference access point device can report the signal strength of itself when communicating with the target terminal to the access control device. In this way, the access control device can determine a roaming record based on this information, the identity of the source access point device in the roaming record is the identity of the first access point device, and the identity of the destination access point device is the identity of the roaming With reference to the identification of the access point device, the roaming experience indication information can be determined according to the signal strength before roaming and the signal strength after roaming.

In the same way, the access control device can determine multiple historical roaming records and roaming experience indication information corresponding to each historical roaming record.

In some embodiments, the access control device determines one or more third access point devices corresponding to the first access point device based on the multiple historical roaming records and the roaming experience indication information corresponding to each historical roaming record The identifier includes: the access control device selects the historical roaming record with improved signal quality after roaming from the multiple historical roaming records according to the roaming experience indication information corresponding to each historical roaming record. The access control device determines the identity of the destination access point device included in the selected historical roaming record as the identity of one or more third access point devices corresponding to the first access point device.

In other embodiments, the access control device may determine one or the corresponding roaming experience indication information corresponding to each historical roaming record in a manner of reinforcement learning according to the multiple historical roaming records. Identities of multiple third access point devices. That is, the access control device selects the historical roaming record with improved signal quality after roaming from the multiple historical roaming records according to the roaming experience indication information corresponding to each historical roaming record. The access control device obtains the identifier of the neighbor access point device of the first access point device, and the neighbor access point device is not included in the multiple historical roaming records. The access control device determines the identification of the destination access point device included in the selected historical roaming record and the acquired identification of the neighbor access point device as one or more third access points corresponding to the first access point device The identification of the device.

It should be noted that reinforcement learning is a type of AI algorithm. Reinforcement learning refers to a goal-oriented algorithm. This learning algorithm can make the determined one or more third access point devices more accurate. That is, the one or more third access point devices determined by means of reinforcement learning are access point devices with improved signal quality after roaming from the first access point device. In addition, since multiple historical roaming records include access point devices that have been guided by roaming before, but the access point devices that have not been guided by roaming may also be access point devices with improved signal quality, so they can also be included in the The neighbor access point device of the multiple historical roaming records serves as the third access point device. Among them, the neighbor access point devices that are not included in the multiple historical roaming records can be determined according to certain rules.

As an example, the access control device may determine the number of access point devices of the first type, where the first type of access point devices refers to the destination access point devices in the historical roaming record of improved roaming signal quality. After that, the access control device can divide the number of access point devices of the first type by the reference ratio to obtain the number of access point devices of the second type. The second type of access point devices are those that are not included in the multiple historical roaming For the recorded neighbor access point devices, the reference ratio refers to the ratio of the number of access point devices of the first type to the access point devices of the second type in one or more third access point devices. In this way, the access control device can select the neighbor access point device as the third access point device from the neighbor access point devices that have never been included in the multiple historical roaming records according to the number of the second type of access point devices.

For example, if the reference ratio is 8:2, and the number of access point devices of the first type determined by the access control device is 4, then the number of access point devices of the second type is one. Therefore, the access control device can not only use 4 access point devices of the first type as the third access point device, but can also select one of the neighbor access point devices that have not been included in the multiple historical roaming records for access. The point device serves as the third access point device.

Since the first type of access point device can guarantee the success of roaming guidance with a high probability, that is, it can guarantee the success rate of roaming guidance. However, in order to achieve the effect of reinforcement learning, some neighbor access point devices that are not included in the historical roaming record can be added. However, in general, the number of access point devices of the first type is greater than the number of access point devices of the second type. That is, the number of access point devices of the first type accounts for a larger proportion than the number of access point devices of the second type.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned determination of the number of access point devices of the second type according to the reference ratio is only an implementation method. In other embodiments, it can also be determined in other ways, as long as the number of access point devices of the first type is The quantity ratio can be larger than the quantity ratio of the second type of access point devices.

Among them, in the embodiment of the present application, reinforcement learning may be performed periodically, and each time reinforcement learning is performed, the determined one or more third access point devices become more precise.

Based on the description of step 501 above, the neighbor access point devices of the first access point device included in the one or more second access point devices may be determined through the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device. Among them, the roaming device list corresponding to the first access point device can be obtained according to the related implementation of the above two methods, that is, the roaming device list proactively pushed by the access control device can be received, or the roaming device list can be sent to the access control device. After the device sends the list acquisition request, it receives the roaming device list sent by the access control device.

Step 504: The target terminal receives the roaming guidance instruction sent by the first access point device, and performs roaming according to the identification of one or more reference access point devices carried in the roaming guidance instruction.

Since the reference roaming guidance condition is determined after the access control device performs multiple guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model, the reference model is the model of the target terminal, but the reference roaming guidance condition may not necessarily match the target The built-in roaming rules in the terminal match. Therefore, after the target terminal receives the roaming guidance instruction sent by the first access point device, it can determine whether there is a reference access point device that meets the built-in roaming rules of the target terminal among the one or more reference access point devices. If it exists, the target terminal can roam according to the identity of the reference access point device that meets its own built-in roaming rules, that is, switch from the association with the first access point device to the reference that meets its own built-in roaming rules The association of the access point device.

However, if there is no reference access point device that meets the built-in roaming rules of the target terminal among the one or more reference access point devices, then the target terminal will not roam. That is, the association with the first access point device is maintained.

In summary, in this embodiment of the application, since the reference roaming guidance condition is determined by the access control device performing multiple roaming guidance tests on one or more terminals belonging to the reference model, the reference model is the model of the target terminal. Therefore, the reference roaming guidance conditions and the built-in roaming rules of the target terminal are not much different. In this way, when the first access point device obtains the reference roaming guidance condition and determines that the target terminal meets the reference roaming guidance condition, even if the target terminal does not unconditionally obey the roaming guidance of the first access point device, it can still have a high probability Guide the target terminal to roam successfully. Moreover, the access control device determines different roaming guidance conditions for different types of terminals. Even if different types of terminals have different built-in roaming rules, performing roaming guidance according to the above method can also increase the success rate of roaming guidance.

In this way, when the first access point device obtains the reference roaming guidance condition and determines that the target terminal meets the reference roaming guidance condition, even if the target terminal does not unconditionally obey the roaming guidance of the first access point device, it can still have a high probability Guide the target terminal to roam successfully. Moreover, the access control device determines different roaming guidance conditions for different types of terminals.
